 It's in the RUMOR MILL section, hence it is a RUMOR. Personally I find it entertaining to see what gets started in this particular forum section and have people go off the deep end. - Gary Dillard [more] |

Rightsight Optical Sensor Help
Hello all- we using an optical sensor called a rightsight made by Allen-Bradley on our robot this year, but don't really know how it works or how to program it. Does anyone have any information on this?

Re: Rightsight Optical Sensor Help
What are you trying to use them for?
From what I can remember they were given in the 2011 KOP to track lines on the field. I think they output a digital signal depending on whether they detect a dark object in front of them. See this thread for wiring information.

Re: Rightsight Optical Sensor Help
That sensor has four wires, with colors Brown, Blue, Black, and White. Brown needs to be connected to 12 volts and Blue goes to "ground"/common. A VRM output would probably be appropriate. Black and White are essentially switches to ground, only one of which is active at a time. Black activates when the sensor is not seeing an object; White activates when it is. Only one of them is necessary, and should be connected to the SIGnal pin of a Digital Input port.
It is a light source and light detector pointing in the same direction. It senses when something is in front of it and reflecting the light.
